Torn apart between Libra and Scorpio, I cannot define my personality as well. I seem to be optimistic yet pessimistically emotional. I want to be the best yet might sometimes be too lazy to put in my best. Whatever that is, I guess my blog speaks better than myself.
At first, I thought they were joking until I heard it myself. That guy really asked for a ticket to I…P….Man.
He is a Chinese. Well, what’s wrong with that? For goodness sake, why can’t they just figure it out that the movie is called YIP MUN! Gosh, and it’s already YIP MUN 2! Hello!!!
The point here is, I just can’t stop wondering why will a Chinese think that "IP” is supposed to be pronounced separately? Like too influenced by that organ named “L.P.”??? Even if they can’t understand “IP”, they could have figured it out through the Chinese title “叶问” right??
Why am I kicking a fuss here, you may wonder. Besides being obsessed over Donnie Yen, it just brings back my memories of being a good (not trying to be humble!) Chinese student back in school. When English is soooo into the youngsters and everyone just go ga-ga over sitcoms like “F.R.I.E.N.D.S” and the quote “I hate Chinese lessons”. Nothing wrong with that but I can still feel how people look down on Chinese and look up at ANG MOS.
It also reminded me of my second ex-boyfriend who used to think that he is supposed to be an Australian (he must be crazy) when he is totally yellow in skin. *Lucky I broke up with him*
The point here is … it’s okay to not being able to speak good Chinese or even read those Chinese characters. However, can’t these people just at least be “educated”? Okay I hear you, fair enough, it is Cantonese after all. BUT STILL! I don’t think those Caucasians feel proud pronouncing “Iron man” as '”Onion Man” or “Iron Mun” right…Some Chinese actually feel proud at the fact that they gave up halfway reading Chinese blogs or can’t even speak good Chinese. heh~
Okay, I’m not here trying to be a CHINESE patriotic or a show-off. Honestly, my Chinese fumbled after ‘O’. You know what caused it. And my English is not getting anywhere better. But at least I am a Chinese and I do love my culture.
